Cockburn Response
The Cockburn Association supports this application.
This application was the subject of a recent presentation to our Policy and Development Committee by the development team and the proposals were well received by our committee members.
In our view this is a good scheme which demonstrates the successful and sustainable reuse of a range of heritage buildings for residential purposes and the sensitive infill of the remaining site with new or rebuilt accommodation. It has considerable potential as an attractive and liveable residential community.
However, it is disappointing that little information is provided relating to affordable or accessible housing provision or accessible parking provision. It is to be hoped that this oversight is addressed.
